00:17

We were in a major accident.

00:20

I was the driver.

00:23

It shattered my lungs and liver completely.

00:26

They brought me and my sister in. and

00:29

we saw him lying there. blood still clotted

00:34

on his body.

00:36

My sister burst into hysterical tears and her

00:40

tears fell on dad's body lying there.

00:45

That's when I understood how serious it was.

00:48

I was together with Rav in the same

00:50

car.

00:51

I woke up in the hospital. severely injured.

00:54

The friends didn't recognize my face.

00:58

They told me. Rav is also in the

01:00

hospital. still unconscious.

01:03

We don't know what to do.

01:06

What's going to happen to us from now

01:08

on?

01:09

What will be next?

01:10

Around the accident. I realized the power of

01:13

the group my father was building.

01:16

Suddenly. I realized he wasn't just my father.

01:21

The lungs were filled with blood and I

01:24

couldn't breathe. constantly choking like you're underwater.

01:29

And then I heard the doctors talking.

01:32

Well. we'll do this for him now. and

01:34

then that. and then we'll see.

01:36

If he lives. he lives.

01:39

I'm sitting at the hospital entrance with a

01:42

choked throat and tears in my eyes.

01:46

This moment will never get out of my

01:48

head.

01:50

And constantly. the thought and feeling passed through

01:53

me that after searching my whole life for

01:57

the person who'll teach me the most important

01:59

thing in life. and now he's gonna leave?

02:03

That can't be.

02:04

No way.

02:07

I went through a clinical death.

02:11

There were visions as if you see from

02:13

afar. as if you see things from the

02:15

outside. all sorts of things.

02:17

This is what people who go through clinical

02:19

death feel a bit at the end of

02:21

the road.

02:22

That is what's waiting for them there.

02:25

It's all a lie.

02:26

It's not similar to the spiritual state.

02:29

We want to make a film about you.

02:32

We want to open up a bit this

02:33

curtain that is separating us from the science

02:36

of Kabbalah to refute myths about it.

02:39

You've been studying Kabbalah for almost 50 years.

02:42

You've learned from great sages.

02:44

You also have thousands of students.

02:46

We think that by presenting a film with

02:49

you. we'll be able to talk about the

02:51

spiritual world.

02:51

We'll be able to give an answer to

02:54

people who ask themselves. why was I given

02:56

this life?

02:57

I understand. but this doesn't suit me.

03:04

I was many years beside the great Kabbalist.

03:08

the Rabbash. and it wouldn't have suited him

03:12

at all to engage in himself in any

03:14

way.

03:15

You could see that he was great. and

03:18

I. according to my character. I have nothing

03:21

in which to make myself great.

03:25

I understand that's not what you want for

03:27

the film. but that's how it is.

04:04

Before I get up in the morning and

04:07

wake up. this film of the lesson. what

04:10

I'll convey to you. is already running inside

04:14

me.

04:30

Day after day. I get up and discover

04:33

how hard it is for me to wake

04:36

up properly for the lesson. that I want

04:39

to reach it with all my strength. my

04:42

mind and heart. and I can't.

04:54

Every morning. anew. otherwise it won't be a

04:58

new day.

04:59

And I need to wake up again and

05:02

again. awaken myself and connect to the group.

05:07

And the connection should be a new connection.

05:10

not as it was yesterday.

05:12

More difficult and more courageous.

05:17

And I read and I look up all

05:19

kinds of excerpts. but I feel myself that

05:24

I'm dead.

05:25

Day after day.

05:28

Once in a while. we hear from Rav

05:30

that he goes through periods of lack of

05:33

strength.

05:33

But regardless. I can say with confidence that

05:36

none of us has seen Rav in such

05:39

a state.

05:40

After all. we know him differently.

05:48

I don't predict the future and I don't

05:50

do any supernatural things.

05:53

I teach my students how slowly and in

05:56

small steps to reach the truth and acquire

05:59

it.

06:03

Our wisdom of Kabbalah is a scientific. didactic

06:07

form.

06:08

It's a method of how a person changes

06:10

himself and through this comes to know the

06:14

upper force.

06:16

And as the Kabbalists write. this can take

06:19

10 or 20 years.

06:22

Only special people who have a point in

06:24

the heart understand there's no other way.

06:27

Then others will go somewhere else to mysticism.

06:39

It's important to me that ordinary people from

06:43

the land of Israel. especially. will hear what

06:46

I say and understand what lies ahead of

06:49

them in some form.

06:51

Not from me. through someone. but the main

06:54

thing is that these external changes will happen

06:57

to all inhabitants of the world.

08:00

We're reading from the introduction to the book

08:03

of Zohar. item 14.

08:06

Thus. you necessarily find that on the whole.

08:09

there are three states to the soul.

08:11

The science that we now want to reveal

08:15

is how much the connection or distance between

08:19

us affects all of nature. the still. vegetative.

08:26

animate. and even on the relationships between people.

08:32

We will see this with our own eyes

08:34

that we are moving closer between us and

08:37

suddenly all the viruses disappear.

08:41

The hurricanes. the cold and heat waves. all

08:45

the problems. everything.

08:47

We move a little closer between us and

08:50

suddenly all kinds of bad forces calm down

08:54

in all kinds of places and countries.

08:58

This is really a very interesting science. how

09:02

much the phenomena within us. when we quiet

09:07

them. we move closer upon the hatred. so

09:11

there will be love.

09:13

We don't destroy the hatred. the natural forces

09:17

of minus and plus. the opposition between them

09:20

remains.

09:21

Only we know how to work with both

09:23

of them together to give the Creator room

09:26

to govern.

09:27

And this is called. He who makes peace

09:31

in his heavens will make peace upon us.

09:35

The complementation between minus and plus.

09:51

How do you receive the information that you

09:54

give in a lesson?

09:55

Can you explain how you feel about it?

09:58

It's like a scientist who feels the phenomena

10:01

from the world. or who looks at the

10:04

sky if he engages in astronomy. or into

10:08

planet Earth if he engages in geology.

10:10

But this is his profession. so he sees

10:13

before everyone and more than everyone.

10:17

It's the same with me.

10:18

My laboratory is humanity.

10:21

When I look at what happens in humanity

10:23

and after what transpires. then I understand from

10:28

this that it is at a lower degree

10:31

than it should be already.

10:33

We need to hurry with our correction.

10:37

During the time of that state. no correction

10:40

will come to the bodies. only to the

10:43

souls.

10:44

Introduction to the Book of Zohar.

10:48

The will to bestow. Binah mingles with Malkuth.

10:52

It enters the will to receive. and then

10:54

by this. the will to receive begins to

10:58

be even more cruel.

11:01

Evil in the world. that all those scoundrels

11:05

who attack us. and through supposedly good. beautiful

11:10

deeds. pull from us everything possible.

11:15

They manage us. confuse us. all the governments.

11:20

all those managers.

11:24

Phase two and phase four were mingled together

11:27

and caused the second restriction.

11:30

Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah.

11:35

It turns out we are reaching a state

11:37

that those same things that should be for

11:41

the correction. they work for the corruption. for

11:46

the corrupted Binah.

11:48

And this is called. he has swallowed up

11:51

riches and he will vomit it up.

11:53

Questions.

11:55

Rav. can we now. in this lesson. reach

11:57

the end of correction?

11:58

At every moment. not just this lesson.

12:01

How should we approach the public?

12:06

Why is the corporal people of Israel punished

12:09

for not keeping the mutual guarantee?

12:11

What is the work in the mind and

12:13

heart?

12:14

Do you see that we're progressing and doing

12:17

it correctly?

12:17

What is the benefit from the destruction of

12:22

the temple?

12:23

How not to deviate from this path?

12:27

How can we connect these separate souls into

12:30

one soul?

12:31

What should we be careful of so we

12:33

don't cause harm to the public?

12:35

We lack fire.

12:53

To rise from below.

14:21

Michael Laitman was born in 1946 in Vitebsk

14:26

to a family of Holocaust survivors.

14:28

His parents were doctors.

14:30

In his childhood. he was interested in music

14:32

and photography.

14:34

In 1964. he was accepted to the Electrotechnical

14:37

Institute in Leningrad and has a degree in

14:40

computer science.

14:42

He studied biology and medical cybernetics.

14:45

During his studies. he was a sound technician

14:47

in the music group Nomads.

14:49

After finishing his studies in the institute. he

14:52

worked in the Kronstadt Laboratory of the Academy

14:55

of Military Medicine on space medicine.

14:59

In 1974. after prolonged opposition from the Soviet

15:03

authorities. he immigrated to Israel.

15:06

He worked in the IDF.

15:08

He has a personal business.

15:09

His family expanded in Israel. and he has

15:12

a father of three children.

15:14

We don't know when Michael Laitman began searching

15:17

for a spiritual teacher. but we know he

15:20

found him in 1979.

15:23

This is Rav Baruch Shalom HaLevi Aschlag. son

15:27

of the great Kabbalist Rav Yehuda Aschlag. Baal

15:31

HaSulam.

15:33

Michael was his faithful servant and continues the

15:36

path of Rav Baruch.

15:38

In 1997. he founded B'nei Baruch Kabbalah

15:43

for the People Association. named after his teacher.

15:46

He has a PhD.

15:48

There are several million people on the planet

15:50

who call him their teacher.

15:56

Dad?

15:58

Yes?

16:00

So many fears and concerns. especially when I

16:05

think about him.

16:08

What will be?

16:10

It'll be fine.

16:12

He'll grow up and take his place.

16:16

There's a lot of uncertainty.

16:19

Yes.

16:20

Where is the world going?

16:21

The world is certainly going in a bad

16:24

direction.

16:25

We can see everything according to the types

16:28

of egos that are revealed.

16:31

Why specifically our corrupted form in the relationship

16:36

between us is revealed in this or that

16:40

form of diseases and revolutions and wars and

16:45

so on.

16:47

According to what's being revealed now. I don't

16:50

even want to talk much about it. but

16:53

we are facing several blows of plagues.

16:59

Rav. you've predicted the future many times and

17:01

quite accurately.

17:03

Can you explain how that happens?

17:05

How does this mechanism work?

17:06

Maybe through this chart as an example.

17:09

And this chart. where does it appear?

17:12

This chart?

17:13

Yeah.

17:13

I feel it before me.

17:15

It appears in all of humanity. in the

17:17

world.

17:18

Natural disasters. cold. heat. plagues. wars.

17:23

This is what I feel.

17:25

Can you say from where you know this?

17:28

Well. how can I explain it?

17:30

What do I see?

17:33

I see a process that is happening all

17:35

over the world.

17:37

And from that. I speak.

17:40

The upper force is approaching us according to

17:44

its own time.

17:46

And we are not compatible with it.

17:50

And according to the gap between us and

17:53

the upper force. which is entirely a force

17:57

of bestowal.

17:59

And we are a force of reception.

18:03

So its nearing to us should bring us

18:07

all kinds of disasters.

18:10

Time passes and humanity does nothing to adapt

18:15

itself to the flow of time.

18:22

The world is ours. not the enemy's!

18:31

Gilad. you served some time in the Navy.

18:34

Yeah. I served as an electronics officer on

18:37

a missile ship.

18:38

Did you ever fight?

18:40

Yes. I participated in the first Lebanon war.

18:43

Then it was called Operation Peace for the

18:45

Galilee.

18:46

I remember there was some artillery battle opposite

18:49

the shores of Beirut that fired at us.

18:52

We fired at them.

18:53

And it was like a wild west duel.

18:55

Who will hit first?

18:57

And you see the shells hitting the water.

18:59

300 meters from you.

19:00

And then 200 meters from you.

19:01

And 100 meters from you.

19:03

At 50 meters from you.

19:04

And it's clear to you that the next

19:06

shell will fall on the ship.

19:09

And a thought passed through me.

19:10

You're too young.

19:11

What have you accomplished?

19:12

You haven't done anything.

19:14

You must win here.

19:15

This was one of the formative events that

19:18

brought me to think. what am I living

19:20

for?

19:20

And to search out the answer to the

19:22

question.

19:31

Hello. we're in a writer's meeting with Rav

19:33

Dr. Michael Laitman.

19:34

Hello. Rav.

19:35

Hello. everyone.

19:36

We're about a week before the 9th of Av.

19:39

19:39

What is this strong and special force operating

19:42

on us these days?

19:44

A negative force.

19:45

A force of separation. distancing. hatred.

19:49

What is our connection?

19:50

Today's Jews to the Jews back then.

19:52

2000 years ago?

19:55

We are the same people.

19:57

The same character.

20:00

The separation between us is always present.

20:04

By this. we raise hatred in all the

20:08

nations surrounding us and give them the power

20:12

to break us.

20:13

What can we do now to prevent the

20:16

next blows?

20:18

We need to make a correction that is

20:21

placed upon us and depends only on us.

20:25

And this is why all humanity depends upon

20:28

us.

20:29

And subconsciously. it feels this dependence.

20:33

And we don't want to recognize this dependence.

20:35

They come to us and pressure and say.

20:38

enough.

20:38

This is what we want.

20:39

Not territories. not peace. and not all kinds

20:43

of things. and not success in all kinds

20:45

of situations.

20:46

We want nothing from you except one thing.

20:50

The method for correcting the world.

20:52

Because the world is deteriorating to a state

20:55

of complete chaos.

20:57

But what in the nature of the Jews

20:59

causes them to return again and again to

21:01

the same ruin?

21:02

What don't we learn from the past?

21:03

This is called a stiff-necked people.

21:06

What would you do if you had such

21:08

a stubborn son who doesn't want to do

21:10

this?

21:11

This is the creator's problem.

21:14

Okay. and how does he solve his problems?

21:18

He puts more and more pressure every year.

21:21

more and more. until we recognize our obligation.

21:26

How is it the nations of the world

21:28

understand this message better than us?

21:30

They don't have the same ego as we

21:33

do.

21:34

They're not connected to the creator directly.

21:38

They're not stiff-necked like us.

21:43

Rav wrote the first books and articles himself.

21:47

But today. with the amount of media coming

21:50

out from the walls of this building. it's

21:53

impossible.

21:54

In these Raiders meetings. Rav exposes the causes.

21:58

the spiritual roots of everything that occurs in

22:01

Israel and the world.

22:02

And we. we type on the keyboard and

22:05

transmit his messages to the world.

22:09

So who's to blame?

22:11

I am the reason that this is happening

22:14

to them. and I need to be the

22:16

reason that they truly connect and speak to

22:19

be as one man with one heart.

22:23

We will then build a connection between us.

22:27

specifically above all the hatred. a connection of

22:31

love.

22:32

And this will be the true third temple.

22:36

As the creator says. my house shall be

22:39

called a house of prayer for all peoples.

22:47

One more question.

22:49

You're a Kabbalist.

22:51

You're in the spiritual worlds.

22:53

Why do you feel the need to deal

22:55

with the matters of our world. with all

22:57

of these changing events?

22:59

I remember the Rabbash. when there was the

23:05

Lebanon war.

23:07

And some Hesed came to see Rav running

23:12

to the radio to turn on the radio.

23:15

So he asked him what happened.

23:19

So I tell him. it's news.

23:21

He wants to hear the news. what's happening

23:24

there in Lebanon.

23:30

So the Rabbash comes back and then he

23:34

says to him. what is the news?

23:37

What is it?

23:38

Does this suit us. faithful Jews?

23:40

What's news?

23:43

Rabbash says. do you have children there?

23:47

And it's true.

23:49

It was really very moving.

23:56

Rav Baruch Aschlag the Rabbash was born in

23:59

the Jewish district of Warsaw in 1907.

24:02

He was the first child in his family

24:05

of the prominent Kabbalist Yehuda HaLevi Aschlag.

24:09

He remained forever his good student and devoted

24:12

successor.

24:13

In 1921. the Rabbash moved with his parents

24:16

to the land of Israel and entered the

24:18

Jerusalem Teratimit Yeshiva.

24:21

There he studied Torah and Kabbalah for 16

24:24

hours a day.

24:25

He got married in 1925.

24:28

Six children were born from this marriage.

24:31

All the years he continued studying Kabbalah under

24:34

his father's guidance and simultaneously worked as a

24:37

construction worker. later as a reinforcement worker. including

24:41

on the Jerusalem Hebron Road and also as

24:45

a shoemaker.

24:46

In addition. he served as an income tax

24:48

inspector.

24:50

The Rabbash dedicated his life to explaining and

24:53

spreading methods for studying Kabbalah in a way

24:56

accessible for the understanding and study by a

24:59

modern generation.

25:00

The Rabbash passed away in 1991 and was

25:04

buried on Har HaMenuchot next to his

25:07

father in Jerusalem.

25:24

It's hard without the Rabbash.

25:30

It's a wall.

25:37

It's life without questions.

27:04

We know that at this hour usually you

27:07

work alone behind a closed door and we

27:11

don't know what you do there.

27:14

I remember once I mustered the courage and

27:16

asked you about this.

27:17

You told me this is the work of

27:19

a Kabbalist.

27:21

And now we want to ask who is

27:23

a Kabbalist?

27:25

A Kabbalist is a person connected with a

27:29

creator and dedicating all his life to how

27:34

to advance towards this.

27:50

Is it possible to express in words what

27:52

a Kabbalist feels?

27:53

I see the upper force that operates within

27:56

humanity and therefore I have my own view.

27:58

my own opinion from this.

28:02

Rav Amos never talks about his spiritual achievements.

28:04

He apparently wants us to rise to these

28:07

stages by ourselves.

28:09

In addition. we learn that it's hard to

28:11

convey in our words impressions from the upper

28:14

world. a rich diverse world.

28:17

But there's a short and very special segment

28:20

in our archive.

28:23

When did you feel the light for the

28:25

first time?

28:28

This I can say because many of my

28:30

students have already gone through this and it's

28:33

possible.

28:34

A person feels the light for the first

28:37

time when he begins studying Kabbalah.

28:42

And suddenly. truly suddenly. some revelation comes to

28:48

him that he feels that he's in a

28:51

sea or in a cloud. I don't know.

28:53

in something dense like that of warmth and

28:58

love that shines on him from all sides.

29:02

And it's as if this world doesn't exist.

29:06

The world does exist and everything but besides

29:09

that he feels how the air is filled

29:13

with a good demeanor. beautiful breathing.

29:18

And this feeling is usually the first meeting

29:22

of a person with the light.

29:26

How can we know that a Kabbalist is

29:28

real?

29:29

Is there a proof of this?

29:31

We can't judge Kabbalists by their writings. by

29:35

their attitude. by their behavior. by nothing.

29:40

Nothing in this is understood and each and

29:42

every one can hide himself so no one

29:46

will see and know.

29:46

Wait. how does it reconcile with the fact

29:48

that there's a Kabbalist like you who has

29:50

millions of students around the world?

29:54

If he feels in his connection with the

29:56

Creator that he must perform some work and

30:00

that he's in a period. let's say like

30:03

ours. that he must perform work with humanity

30:07

and all kinds of other such works. spiritual

30:11

or corporeal. then he performs it.

30:19

During the war with Iraq with Saddam Hussein.

30:27

suddenly I read in the newspaper that this

30:30

Michael Laitman had written a book about Kabbalah.

30:33

The next day I went to the store

30:35

and I bought this book.

30:37

At the end of this book. it was

30:39

written that anyone who read the entire book

30:42

has an invitation and a phone number.

30:46

I called and he asked me. did you

30:49

read to the end?

30:50

I said. yes. really. he said.

30:53

And did you understand everything you read?

30:55

I said. no. no. no. no. no.

30:57

I have many questions.

31:00

He said. come. come. let's talk.

31:15

I came to him and I've been with

31:18

him for 33 years.

31:26

We started studying in Michael Laitman's apartment.

31:32

And with time. more and more people came

31:35

until there was no more room in his

31:38

living room.

31:55

We found some small hut on Rain Street.

31:59

It was a huge place for us.

32:04

And there were morning lessons there. holidays.

32:13

It was an unforgettable time.

32:21

And then the group grew again.

32:23

We felt crowded in our old and pleasant

32:25

buildings. so we rented an industrial building. renovated

32:28

it. created our own television station. and thousands

32:31

of people all over the world listened with

32:33

bated breath to the morning lesson.

32:36

And again. we felt crowded.

32:38

Three thousand people all at once. each decided

32:41

to put in as much as he could.

32:43

and we bought the building.

32:45

We built these walls with our own hands.

32:48

There's a study hall here. study rooms. a

32:51

studio. even a small hall and a larger

32:55

one.

32:56

That is. everything is here to be a

32:58

supportive environment for every person who wants spiritual

33:02

development.

33:03

And the well of life. the initiating leading

33:06

force is Rav Laitman.

33:08

It's the Kabbalist.

33:25

I've traveled enough to the US and South

33:27

America and Russia and Europe and all kinds

33:31

of places and gave lectures and everything.

33:34

I see myself as working with whoever wants

33:37

to listen.

33:44

But with publicity. that's not me.

33:51

I've been abroad with Rav dozens of times.

33:54

both at conferences and on private trips.

33:57

And what characterizes him is that he really

34:00

settles for little.

34:02

He never agreed to fly business class.

34:04

At the airport. when the suitcases arrive. he's

34:07

the first to jump in and bring everyone

34:09

their suitcase.

34:10

He certainly doesn't let anyone carry his suitcase.

34:17

If I were alone without students. no one

34:20

would have heard of me.

34:21

This is how every Kabbalist would do. I'm

34:23

sure.

34:24

What do I get from this?

34:25

I don't receive importance from this.

34:28

I don't need from them neither money nor

34:31

honor nor anything.

34:32

Do you work alone or does somebody help you?

34:35

34:35

We're not talking. of course. about technical work.

34:38

but spiritual work.

34:39

I work alone towards the Creator.

34:42

There are other people. but not beside me.

34:44

outside. according to methods close to Baal HaSulam.

34:48

but different.

34:51

In the history of Kabbalah. there are thousands

34:54

of names that are known to us and

34:56

thousands of names unknown.

34:58

But only a few of them are connected

35:00

to the central changes in the system of

35:02

understanding the upper world.

35:05

One of them is Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag.

35:08

known to us as Baal HaSulam.

35:11

He was born in 1884 in Lukov. 100

35:14

kilometers from Warsaw. the capital of the Kingdom

35:18

of Poland.

35:19

From a young age. he amazed his instructors

35:21

with his brilliant knowledge of all the foundational

35:24

books of Judaism.

35:26

He also became a student of the prominent

35:28

Kabbalists of his time. the Admor of Kalisz

35:32

and the Admor of Pursov.

35:34

Furthermore. he was interested in the works of

35:36

renowned Western philosophers.

35:39

Later on. he would compare their views to

35:41

the view of the science of Kabbalah and

35:43

his articles.

35:44

Since he foresaw the approaching holocaust. Baal HaSulam

35:48

and his family moved to Israel.

35:51

This was in the autumn of 1921. during

35:54

Holomohed Sukkot.

35:56

In Jerusalem. Baal HaSulam was disappointed.

36:00

The local Jews welcomed him with open hostility.

36:04

His idea to spread Kabbalah to the masses

36:06

was not understood by them.

36:08

Moreover. they rejected the wisdom of Kabbalah.

36:12

Thus. despite persecution. Baal HaSolam gathered a group

36:16

of faithful students in the next 30 years

36:19

and created a technique that humanity had not

36:22

known. a scientific translation of an ancient wisdom

36:26

adapted to modern generations.

36:29

He wrote commentaries to all the classical Kabbalah

36:32

books. including the Tree of Life by the

36:34

Ari and the Book of Zohar by Rabbi

36:36

Shimon bar Yochai.

36:38

They were translated into many languages.

36:41

Baal HaSolam passed away in 1954 and left

36:45

his group and teaching methods in the hands

36:47

of the best of his students and his

36:50

firstborn son. Baruch Shalom Ashlag. known as the

36:54

Rabash.

36:55

I drove into Bnei Brak.

36:58

It was rainy and dark.

37:00

An ultra-Orthodox religious man stood at a

37:03

street corner of Rabbi Akiva and Hazon Ish and

37:07

I opened the window a bit like this

37:09

and asked him. where do they study Kabbalah

37:11

here?

37:12

You understand?

37:13

This is. ask him Bnei Brak like that

37:16

and he says. you turn right and drive

37:18

to the end. last house on the left.

37:20

opposite the orchard.

37:22

There they study Kabbalah.

37:24

When I told this to the Rabash. he

37:26

said. that was an angel.

37:33

When I arrived at the Rabash. I saw

37:36

a table and at the table sat five

37:39

old men.

37:40

After a day or two that I was

37:43

there. this environment became for me from five

37:47

old men to the most important in the

37:50

entire world.

37:52

They were really great.

38:02

You're a teacher. the Rabash. did he know

38:05

your future?

38:07

Otherwise. he wouldn't have engaged with me all

38:09

the time.

38:10

After all. it was 12 years. day by

38:12

day. many hours a day.

38:14

Did he immediately see the spark in you?

38:17

He saw it.

38:20

He saw it.

38:25

Rav Dr. Michael Leitman studied with Rav Baruch

38:28

Shalom HaLevi Ashlag. the Rabash.

38:31

The Rabash was the student and son of

38:34

Rav Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag. known by his

38:37

nickname Baal HaSulam.

38:39

Baal HaSulam was the student of Rav Yehoshua

38:42

Rabinovich of Persov.

38:45

And this way. like fresh water. the chain

38:48

of Kabbalists flowed from generation to generation until

38:52

it reached the founder of Hasidism. the Baal

38:55

Shem Tov.

39:31

What does it feel like to bestow?

39:38

You have seven billion people in the world.

39:42

put together all their pleasures.

39:47

Let's say this is a spark compared to

39:52

the light you attain in the highest spiritual

39:55

degree.

40:09

These are the nations of the world who

40:12

want to wash Israel away. to remove them

40:16

from the world.

40:19

And Israel did not break. but rather the

40:22

waves break and cannot wash over the world.

40:34

I can't imagine living abroad.

40:37

There's no other place except here.

40:44

If we bring warmth. reciprocity between us. above

40:49

all the differences. we will create a new

40:54

reality.

41:04

And all that the Creator does to Israel

41:07

when He delivers them bit by bit and

41:11

not all at once.

41:13

It is like a person who is in

41:16

the dark and has always been in the

41:19

dark.

41:20

When you want to give him light. you

41:23

first need to open a small light for

41:27

him. like the eye of a needle. and

41:30

then a little bigger and likewise more each

41:36

time until all the light properly shines for

41:41

him.

41:46

We don't yearn to reveal the spiritual world.

41:53

The truth is. there's nothing to reveal.

41:57

There's nothing to reveal because it doesn't exist.

42:04

We need to build it from our relations.

42:09

from our corrected qualities.
